Raoul kissed her throat. “Give me a hint. Is it expensive?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“What do you mean?”
“We’ll have to wait and see after it arrives.”
“Did you buy it in Dijon?”
“No. It’s coming from an entirely different place.”

“You’re what?”
“I thought that might get your attention. Dr. Filbert says we won’t be able to tell the sex of our bébé for a little while longer, but we’re definitely expecting. I was going to tell you in the morning, but since you woke me up now, I decided I couldn’t keep it a secret any longer.”

“Isn’t it wonderful, Raoul? You’re going to be able to raise your second child and you’ll be the most wonderful father in the world.”
Tears sprang to his eyes. He embraced her gently. “I was just going to say what a beautiful mother you’re going to make. I’m the luckiest husband alive.”
“I only have one request. I would like you to choose the name if we have a boy. But if it’s a girl, I want to call her Blondine. Won’t it be thrilling for her to read the storybook her papa loved?”
“Abby—”
